The environmental group sued President Donald Trump's administration on Thursday after the Republican-controlled Congress used the Congressional Review ACT (CRA) to dismantle an Obama era rule that limited hunting on federal lands in Alaska

The rule previous exempted wolves and bears from Alaska's plan to control predators, which including killing wolves and their pups and bears, sometimes from places.

The CRA requires a simple majority in the house of Representatives and the Senate with the president's signature to wipe any new regulations off the books.

The lawsuit has likely chance of success but the Center for Biological Diversity said that the CRA violated the Constitution because it barred regulators in the future from enacting "substantially similar" rules to the ones repealed.

“By law the Fish and Wildlife Service must protect biological diversity on Alaskan wildlife refuges. But the act makes it more difficult for agency officials to carry out their legal duty,” said Collette Adkins, a biologist and attorney at the center.

Trump Sued For Repealing U.S. Wildlife Rule

An environmental group sued President Donald Trump\'s administration on Thursday over the repeal of a U.S. rule intended to protect wildlife, in the first court challenge to a law being used by Republicans to ease federal regulation. In February, the Republican-controlled Congress used the Congressional Review Act, or CRA, to dismantle a rule that the administration of former Democratic President Barack Obama finalized in August to limit hunting on federal lands in Alaska. The rule had exempted wolves and bears from Alaska\'s plans to control predators, which included killing wolves and their pups in their dens and shooting bears from planes. In the federal court lawsuit, which likely has little chance of success, the Center for Biological Diversity said the CRA violated the U.S. Constitution because it barred regulators in the future from enacting \"substantially similar\" rules to the ones repealed.

Senate Votes to Allow Hunting of Grizzly Bears in Alaska Refuges

Senate Votes to Allow Hunting of Grizzly Bears in Alaska Refuges
The U.S. Senate voted, generally along partisan divisions, on Tuesday (March 21) to cancel a control that precluded certain sorts of chasing in Alaska national untamed life asylums.
In the 52-to-47 vote, the Senate utilized the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to upset a supposed midnight control that President Barack Obama\'s organization passed in their last hours in office a year ago. (Under the 1996 CRA, Congress can, in a facilitated design, dispose of any control, which then can\'t be restored in a \"significantly comparable\" shape, as per an article in the Washington Post.
The support for the abrogation was that states, not the government, ought to shape directions in regards to natural life inside their outskirts, as indicated by the Washington Pos
Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., contradicted the push to abrogate chasing directions in Alaska asylums, saying at the hearing that in his view the new law would \"make things the same as before 100 years on the administration of our local natural life on our national untamed life shelters in Alaska.\"
The new determination would permit catching, goading and elevated shooting of untamed life, for example, wolves and mountain bears, on Alaska\'s shelters, the Washington Post revealed.

More Regulation Repeal From Trump's White House

More Regulation Repeal From Trump's White House

President Donald Trump signed legislation Monday to repeal major-last minute Obama regulation using the Congressional Review Act (CRA).
Alaskan Republican Rep. Don Young introduced the bill, which passed legislation through the House of Representatives in February, to repeal a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) rule limiting hunting and fishing on federal land in the Alaska. The CRA allows Congress to repeal new federal regulations within a certain time frame.
The Senate voted to repeal the rule in March over the objections of environmentalists, who argued it prevented the “slaughter of Alaskan bear cubs, wolf pups.”
“The resolution recognizes that states, like Alaska, have successfully managed their wildlife for generations and the hostile takeover by the national fish and wildlife bureaucrats would only screw it up,” Utah Republican Rep. Rob Bishop, chairman of the House Committee on Natural Resources, said in a press statement.

American Imperialism: Crash Course US History #28

American Imperialism: Crash Course US History #28

In which John Green teaches you about Imperialism. In the late 19th century, the great powers of Europe were running around the world obtaining colonial possessions, especially in Africa and Asia. The United States, which as a young country was especially suceptible to peer pressure, followed along and snapped up some colonies of its own. The US saw that Spain\'s hold on its empire was weak, and like some kind of expansionist predator, it jumped into the Cuban War for Independence and turned it into the Spanish-Cuban-Phillipino-American War, which usually just gets called the Spanish-American War. John will tell you how America turned this war into colonial possessions like Puerto Rico, The Philippines, and almost even got to keep Cuba. The US was busy in the Pacific as well, wresting control of Hawaii from the Hawaiians. All this and more in a globe-trotting, oppressing episode of Crash Course US History.

Yellowstone Grizzlies To Go Off Protected List

Yellowstone Grizzlies To Go Off Protected List

(23 Jun 2017) Protections that have been in place for more than 40 years for grizzly bears in the Yellowstone National Park area will be lifted this summer after U.S. government officials ruled Thursday that the population is no longer threatened.
Grizzlies in all continental U.S. states except Alaska have been protected under the Endangered Species Act since 1975, when just 136 bears roamed in and around Yellowstone. There are now an estimated 700 grizzlies in the area that includes northwestern Wyoming, southwestern Montana and eastern Idaho, leading the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to conclude that the population has recovered.
The final ruling by the Fish and Wildlife Service to remove Yellowstone grizzlies from the list of endangered and threatened species will give jurisdiction over the bears to Montana, Idaho and Wyoming by late July.
That will allow those states to plan limited bear hunts outside the park\'s boundaries as long as the overall bear population does not fall below 600 bears. Wyoming and Montana are unlikely to hold hunts this year, state officials said. Idaho officials said it is too early to discuss a possible hunting season.
\"We are in no rush to move forward on hunting,\" said Laurie Wolf, spokeswoman for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. \"Right now we are really focused still on the conservation of this species.\"
Hunting seasons for grizzlies would require approval by each state\'s wildlife commission after a public review process that \"will be an opportunity to have a rich and robust discussion,\" said Brian Nesvik, wildlife division chief of th...

Trump Interior nominee would review limits on oil drilling on US soil

President-elect Donald Trump\'s pick to run the Department of the Interior is Representative Ryan Zinke of Montana, and he said during his confirmation hearing on Wednesday that he would review President Barack Obama’s moves to limit oil and gas drilling in Alaska and some other parts of the country if confirmed. Zinke said, \"Yes,\" in response to a question from Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska about whether he would review drilling limits on federal land in her state as head of the department.

Wilderness Study Areas in Oregon and Washington

Wilderness Study Areas in Oregon and Washington

The Bureau of Land Management manages 517 wilderness study areas containing about 12.6 million acres located in the Western States and Alaska. The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 directed the Bureau to inventory and study its roadless areas for wilderness characteristics. To be designated as a Wilderness Study Area, an area had to have the following characteristics:
Size - roadless areas of at least 5,000 acres of public lands or of a manageable size;
Naturalness - generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature;
Opportunities - provides outstanding opportunities for solitude or primitive and unconfined types of recreation.
In addition, Wilderness Study Areas often have special qualities such as ecological, geological, educational, historical, scientific and scenic values.
The congressionally-directed inventory and study of BLM\'s roadless areas received extensive public input and participation. By November 1980, the BLM had completed field inventories and designated about 25 million acres of wilderness study areas. Since 1980, Congress has reviewed some of these areas and has designated some as wilderness and released others for non-wilderness uses. Until Congress makes a final determination on a wilderness study area, the BLM manages these areas to preserve their suitability for designation as wilderness.
In Oregon/Washington there are 83 wilderness study areas comprising 2,642,289 acres. These 83 wilderness study areas are primarily located in southeast Oregon in the Prineville, Lakeview, Burns and Vale Districts.

After becoming the first group to legally challenge President Donald Trump\'s proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall, the Center for Biological Diversity sued the Trump administration Thursday for repealing protections for wolves, bears and other predatory animals that live on Alaska’s national preserves. By filing the lawsuit, the group challenged the constitutionality of the Congressional Review Act, which the Republican-controlled Congress used in February to dismantle a rule made by the administration of the former President Barack Obama.
The rule limited the hunting of animals such as wolves, bears and other wildlife in Alaska’s national wildlife refuges.

Dr Chie Sakakibara presented paper, \"Singing for the Whales:Environmental Change and Cultural Resilience among the Iñupiat of Arctic Alaska\", at an international workshop on Indigenous Peoples, Marginalized Populations and Climate Change: Vulnerability, Adaptation and Traditional Knowledge was convened in Mexico City, Mexico (19-21 July 2011).
For more interview and resources please visit:
www.unu.tki.org/climate
Abstract:
Research on the human dimensions of global climate change needs to examine the way vulnerable populations confront uncertainty through cultural practices. This is a vital point for indigenous peoples around the world but particularly for those in the Arctic region where the effects of climate change are most dramatic. The Iñupiat of Arctic Alaska are especially susceptible to environmental change because they rely on sea ice to hunt the culturally and physically important bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus). The Iñupiat identify themselves as the \"People of the Whales\", and the body of the bowhead has sustained their physiology at the same time it has nurtured cultural meaning and lifeways. The bowhead remains central to Iñupiaq life and culture through the hunting process, the communal distribution of meat and other body parts, associated ceremonials, and various events that sustain cultural well-being; what I call the Iñupiaq whaling cycle. Currently, climate change increases environmental uncertainties that both threaten and intensify human emotions tied to whales by influencing the bowhead harvest and the security of the Iñupiaq homeland.
